Orange Creamsicle

I just always loved those orange creamsicles – you know, the ice cream popsicle that had orange on the outside and the creamy vanilla on the inside. YUM!! While I was perusing my latest cookbook purchase, David Lebovitz’ The Perfect Scoop, I saw his recipe for Orange Popsicle Ice Cream, I thought to myself that it had definite dairy-free possibilities, so I substituted the sour cream with Tofutti Sour Cream, and subbed the half & half with soy creamer. And the results? Quite delicious – definitely creamy, with a delicious orange flavor imbued into the ice cream. No funny soy taste at all, either. The original recipe called for 3 tablespoons of grated orange zest, which I added. I think that it may have imparted a slightly bitter aftertaste to the ice cream, so next time, I’ll probably reduce that amount. Otherwise, this one’s a keeper.
